„A clear perspective as to what constitutes a 'fair price' is needed by anyone wishing to assess the 'fairness' of any particular trading relationship. For example, a British ATO, Traidcraft plc, has published in one of its social accounts a breakdown of the final retail price of several of the products that it trades (Traidcraft, 1994). It is apparent from the example set out from these documents that the producer receives only a small proportion of the total price, that the British government in fact receives more than the producer through Value Added Tax, and that Traidcraft makes a financial loss on this particular product. A reading of the full accounts for that year also indicates that the producers of this product get a higher price from Traidcraft than from local or other international commercial traders.“

BBC - h2g2 - The Fairtrade Mark (#)

„The Fairtrade Foundation and the Fairtrade MarkThe Fairtrade Foundation created the term Fairtrade to describe the goods marketed to provide support and assistance to communities ravaged by fluctuations in the global market place. It was founded by CAFOD (Catholic Foundation for Oversea Development), Christian Aid, New Consumer, Oxfam, Traidcraft and the World Development Movement, who were joined later by the Women's Institute. The foundation grants a consumer label, the Fairtrade Mark - two black interlocking F's on a white background - to products which meet internationally recognised standards of fair trade. For a more in-depth analysis of the criteria go to Fairtrade International.“

BBC NEWS | Business | New shares offer for ethical firm (#)

„It is trying to raise £3.25m ($5m) by offering shares to the public in London but, as the company itself says, this is no ordinary issue of shares. Traidcraft intends to provide investors with financial returns. But it says the principal return for shareholders will be the knowledge that they are helping poor producers and their communities to fight poverty. Paying a dividend "We want people to invest, not because they think they're going to make a lot of money out of us but because of what we can do for the sake of poor people," says Traidcraft's chief executive Paul Chandler.“
